@Danielle Cage overall I agree with others here that you likely have a very challenging situation that is best suited to a fresh start.

Is a CFP helpful for someone in my situation? 

I’m from the Syracuse NY area and am in somewhat similar situation as you concerning being an agent and looking to start an investing career.

When something unique comes along, like the COVID-19 eviction moratorium, I had no problem navigating the situation because I am used to thinking through difficult situations, finding solutions, and pushing forward.

Has anyone encounter this situation before and how did you go about it?

The property is situated immediately west of the 405 freeway north of Manhattan Beach Boulevard, and it checks several boxes for institutional capital as this buyer profile continues to be drawn toward infill locations in coastal markets.After eight quarters of declining transaction volume, 2024 may see an uptick in sales velocity if the 2008-2009 commercial real estate downturn serves as a guide.

It is important to consult with a tax professional or attorney specializing in 1031 exchanges to ensure that your friend's specific situation and intentions comply with IRS regulations.

Then started renting it out last year 2023 November for $4700/month (renter pays all utilities) due to life situation change (moving in with my bf).

I’m facing a situation with the property.

As part of my current situation, a nice lead generating platform is included in my MLS dues so I would like to keep that.
